Sinopsis

Murders, riots, strikes and runaway horses. Midlothian in the 18th and 19th centuries was an interesting place to live.
 
This book introduces the reader to the hard lives of the colliers, the birth of the rural police force and the impact the army had on life in the county south of Scotland's capital city. Highwaymen and grave robbers, footpads and murderers, illicit distillers and murderous poachers; all lived or worked in Midlothian at a time when Scotland was changing from a rural to an industrial nation.
 
Midlothian Mayhem opens the door to this time and place, giving you a view of this fascinating area through different eyes.

    Here, at last, is what can only be described as a riveting compendium of unheard stories, interviews, and quotes directly from the spiritual heart of the Beatles, George Harrison. Sourced from the extensive archives of rock biographer and historian Sripad Jagannatha Dasa, here is the quiet Beatle in his own inspirational words. The innate truth, wisdom, and sincerity of Harrison shine through in this touching audio tribute to the journeyman musician, composer, dedicated bhakti yogi, and humble gardener. 
     
    Although George insisted, he was only a regular guy, there is quite a lot of evidence to the contrary. Throughout his often magical, turbulent, unlikely life, he selflessly raised millions for charity and still does via the good works of his personal charity, The Material World Foundation. He was, too, the grandfather of world music, introducing audiences to be exquisite, ethereal complexity of both Indian music and the spiritually liberating Sanskrit mantras from the 5,000-year-old Vedic scriptures. Harrison was also instrumental in turning on a global audience to ethical vegetarianism, reincarnation, Hare Krishna philosophy, meditation, and, yes, even the thoughtful careful use of psychedelics. 
     
    In this one-of-a-kind collection, there are no journalists getting in the way of the purity of George’s expansive ideas and his carefully told personal history. Here is George Harrison truly in his own words, speaking across the waters of time to generations of dedicated fans still deeply moved by this simple man’s great music, philosophical importance, and well-deserved historical significance.

    World War I, as history remembers it, was a devastating conflict that shaped the course of the 20th century. The traditional narrative of the war sees the Central Powers, led by Germany, ultimately defeated by the Allied Forces, marking the end of imperial dominance in Europe and the beginning of new political landscapes. But what if this outcome had been reversed? What if Germany, instead of succumbing to the weight of its enemies, had emerged victorious? This book explores that alternative history, where Germany’s triumph in World War I reshapes the world in profound ways. 
    The notion of a world where Germany won the Great War requires us to look back at the pivotal moments that led to its original defeat. From strategic blunders to the involvement of the United States and internal collapses in both Germany and its allies, each aspect of the war’s history played a role in its outcome. But what if the pivotal battles, such as the Battle of the Marne, had unfolded differently? What if Germany had made different strategic decisions on the Eastern and Western fronts? What if the United States had remained neutral throughout the conflict? 
    In this alternate timeline, the victory for Germany would not just be the result of better tactics or military superiority but also of political maneuvering, technological advancements, and psychological warfare. A victorious Germany would have led to a drastically different post-war landscape, one where the German Empire’s power extends beyond Europe, influencing global politics and economics for decades to come.
